Alleged Terror Plot Thwarted

Last night, Belgian police arrested 14 terrorist suspects in a suicide-bombing plot. According to The Telegraph, the suspects were arrested before E.U. leaders arrive in Brussels for an economic and climate-change summit. The man who is suspected of being the actual bomber is a Belgian citizen, and just returned from Afghanistan with two other plotters, where they are believed to have received orders from Al Qaeda commanders. It’s unclear where, exactly, the attack was to take place—it could have been in Afghanistan or Pakistan, but, said Belgium’s federal prosecutor, “it can't be ruled out that Belgium or Europe could have been the target."
